This allows the kite to crash and bend, <br> but not break. Beginner kites such as the TRLBY, Beetle, and Stingray use solid fiberglass rods.<br> Hollow Fiberglass - This has the advantage of being stiffer and lighter, but may break on hard crashes. It has become <br> a very popular rod because it provides good performance very inexpensively. Kites such as the Delta Dancer use this rod.<br> Hollow Epoxy Fiberglass - This is the next step up in stunt kite rod. It is an epoxy resin and fiberglass wrapped together. <br> It is economical, durable, and relatively stiff and light. Many beginner stunt kites use them as the spine of the kites.<br> Pultruded Graphite - This is the most popular type of graphite rod. It is both light and stiff, which is the best combination.<br> This rod is created by sucking liquid graphite through a mold. Almost any kite over $75.00 will be sparred with pultruded graphite.<br> Wrapped Graphite - This is made from separate graphite strands wrapped around a mold. It is the most expensive, but <br> also the best for its weight to stiffness ratio. The hottest new rod is a wrapped graphite with tapered ends.<br> --- * http://www.windwizards.com/030carbonrods.html Solid Carbon 0.3mm<br> * Outside Diameter - .030 mm-.762<br> * Weight - oz .052 gram - 2.72<br> * Length 48"<br> GW20061$2.00<br> Solid Carbon 0.5mm<br> * Outside diameter - .050 mm-1.27<br> * Weight - oz- .096 gram-2.72<br> * Length is 48"<br> .050 Solid Carbon GW20062$2.00<br> --- * http://www.goodwindskites.com/merch/list.shtml?cat=framework Solid carbon rod Product # Description mm Length Grams Price 12+ 24+ 48+ Enter Quantity<br> 020060 CR.020 .5 48" 0.3 $2.62 $2.38 $2.16 $1.97 $1.79 --- * http://www.wes-technik.de/English/carbon.htm Round rods rod Ø (mm) mass (g/m) price (€/ m)<br> 0,3 0,07 2.65<br> 0,5 0,3 2.60<br> 0,7 0,7 2.50<br> 1,0 1,3 2.45<br> 1,3 2,2 2.40<br> 1,5 2,8 2.50<br> 1,8 3,9 2.55<br> 2,0 5 2.70<br> --- Bastion Glassfibre Rod & Sections Limited<br> Harvey Close, Crowther Industrial Estate, <br> WASHINGTON, Tyne & Wear,<br> United Kingdom.

It's strength to weight ratio gives it a clear advantage for building strong, lightweight flying structures. It is available in many forms for different applications. It can easily be glued to balsa wood with CA glue, creating a superb bond. It is relatively stiff in comparison with comparably sized fiberglass. In applications where a large amount of bend is required, fiberglass may be a better choice, however, fiberglass does weigh more. http://www.skydelight.com/carbon.html --- Spars from Kites * http://www.kiteworks.co.uk/Spars.shtml --- ---++++ Bio Polymers * BioPolymers injection mold numerous components using biodegradable plastics made with plant-based material, please see BioPolymers for more details. * from: http://www.science.org.au/nova/061/061key.htm * http://www.degradableplastics.com/ http://treeplast.com/pictures/jpegs/skip.jpg * BamBoo --- -- Openloop.
